Imgur now has more than 150 million monthly active users

What started off as a side project for a college student that wanted to help people on Reddit share pictures without linking to bloated websites that took forever to load, has grown into a burgeoning startup that has more than 150 million monthly active users. According to Imgur, around 82% of these active users spend more than three hours per week on the website, while another 17% spend more than ten hours. With more than 60 billion memes and cat pictures being viewed every month, Imgur has pretty much become a simplified version of Reddit.
